The FAO's Mountain Partnership is seeking case studies for its publication “Agro-ecological and Organic Farming Practices in Mountain Areas”. To raise awareness around sustainable agricultural farming practices in mountainous areas, the Mountain Partnership Secretariat (MPS) will have the publication highlight the role of agro-ecological or organic farming practices while enhancing livelihoods and food security.
Mountain agriculture largely consists of family farming and pastoralism and is crucial in ensuring household food security and shaping mountain landscapes. Sustainable production practices and the conservation of agrobiodiversity in mountainous areas ensure dietary diversity and quality, generate income for sustainable smallholder farmers, and aid in the restoration and preservation of ecosystems.

- Agro-ecological Farming Practices: an example that demonstrates one of FAO’s 10 elements of agroecology;

Please send your case study to Michelle Geringer at michelle.geringer@fao.org by June 9, 2019. Your submssion should contain the following information:
- An abstract summarizing the contents of the case study (maximum 1 page), e.g. explaining the farming practice and describing the role of agro-ecological or organic farming practices in mountain areas that enhance livelihoods and food security, and improve resilience of mountainous communities and ecosystems;
- Country (or countries) of the case study; and
- Focus theme(s) of the case study.
Case studies featured in the publication will be chosen from received submissions. You will be contacted by FAO's Mountain Partnership in June if your case study has been selected for inclusion.

The authors of these two case studies will be invited to Lausanne, Switzerland from December 4-6, 2019 to participate in the forum and present their case study.
